Dance With The Elements

came across this while searching for a radio dj and the flaming whip seemed to catch my eye. i love the use of all the elements in one pic. also the silhouette, even though the figure is obviously a woman it still gives the feeling of a mysterious, goddess-like. figure.

The translation to the text at the bottom in english means "This is not a pipe." Not sure what to make of this painting by I'm sure Sherlock would be proud

The Persistence Of Memory has become one of Dali's most well known pieces. Finished in 1931, the original piece stands at 10x13. Known mostly for his bizarre personalities then his paintings; this painting and Dali himself have been caricatured by many artists. The painting itself takes it's inspiration from Dali struggling to complete a Port Lligat landscape. After setting his sights on some melting Camembert cheese, this became the base for the soft watches (http://20thcenturyart.suite101.com/article.cfm/salvador_dalis_the_persistence_of_memory ).

It's weird how such simple designs can still catch your eye. This is a movie poster for the 1982 documentary film "Wild Style", the first ever motion picture to every be based around the hip-hop culture. Only thing that kind of bother me about this piece is that they didn't use the "wild style" form of graffiti but more of a "throw up" form.

A CLASSIC PEICE.... but one that I still don't truly understand. What I kind of get out of it is the "people" in the painting, who seem to be faceless, have no choice in their everyday life. They all look and dress the same, they are all the same color as the scenery, and if I'm correct, they only can go as far as the stairs take them. Can the "people" in the painting only walk in a certain area or can they free roam to where ever they please? Not fully sure on that one. But I've always wanted to go into a room like this one.

I just recently became interested in the art of the Baby Boomer Generation especially psychedelic art; one of my favorites being "Land Of Psychedelic Illumination", originally painted by Brian Exton. As if seeing the energy from the sun itself, once invisible to the naked eye, bursting into the cosmos and onto the land. Also, the use of warm and cool colors contrasting adds to it's mystical features that invades the cerabellum with different feelings of emotion.
